Meet the newest addition to the Cincinnati Zoo

Welcome to the Queen City, Daphne!

A 250-pound orphaned female manatee has officially joined the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.

The 1-year-old sea cow was rescued off the Florida coast on April 9. Her mother, who was struck by a boat, did not survive. 

She's joined three orphaned males that are also here for rehabilitation.

The Cincinnati Zoo is one of two facilities outside of Florida that are  part of the  U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP).

This program is designed to rescue and treat sick, injured and orphaned manatees. Then, the animals are released back in the wold.

Daphne is the 19th manatee to be rehabilitated at the Cincinnati Zoo, the release said. 

Manatee Springs will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday so Daphne can get acclimated to her surroundings and companions, the zoo said.

The earliest we can greet her?

That's Thursday. But like all the animals at the zoo, there's a possibility that they will stay out of view. 

But we can always watch from the monitor in the Manatee Springs lobby.

Oh, and here's one more fun fact. 

She's named Daphne in tribute to the legendary conservationist, Daphne Sheldrick.

But the zoo didn't do the naming on their own. 

An Ohio family that just helped rescue a tiny male manatee while vacation in Florida helped.
